I won this in a giveaway. According to the FTC rules I need to mention that =).

As a fan of the Cubs I didn't know much about the White Sox, so I was excited to get this book and read it. History, baseball, scandal, what's not to love? It even had pictures!

Overall I give it a 4 out of five stars. I actually really enjoyed it. There were some slow parts, but every book has that. I plowed through them and was happy I did. Amazing book, would recommend.

A good history of spring training. It does provide a bleak picture of the future of spring training as most teams are willing to keep moving while simply looking for the BBD (bigger, better deal). It is sad to see teams owned by billionaires that employ multi-millionaires fleecing towns and pitting them against each other leaving economic chaos in their wake. This is coming from a die-hard fan who, thankfully, has had his team in one town since the end of WWII.
